Shen Ningning ate something and kept waiting.

Mo Lingwei probably told the palace people that Xiniang would come in from time to time to chat with Shen Ningning.

But Shen Ningning felt sleepy after a while.

Last night she and her mother lay together and talked until midnight.

Mother and daughter have only met each other after so many years. As long as they get together, they can't wait to finish all the words.

Shen Ningning only slept for half an hour before she was called up to dress up.

So it was just after noon, and she was already so sleepy that she squinted her eyes.

Xiniang saw that she was leaning against the bed tent, looking very sleepy, so she said, "Princess, my servant will help you remove the phoenix crown on your head. Can you sleep for a while?"

Shen Ningning opened her eyes: "Can I sleep? Do I have to wait for my brother to come back?"

Xi Niang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave instructions before he left. Your comfort is the main priority in everything. After all, no one else will come for a while, so there is no harm in dismantling it."

When Shen Ningning heard this, she nodded. Xiniang helped her remove the heavy phoenix crown, and she felt that her neck was much lighter.

Xi Niang helped again and took off the cumbersome outer robe. Shen Ningning was finally able to relax for a moment. She rubbed her sore waist and sat with her back straight, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Princess, please rest first. I'll guard the door. I'll call you again if you're told."

After Xi Niang stepped back, Shen Ningning lay down directly.

But she felt uncomfortable underneath her body, as if something was bulging.

Shen Ningning sat up, reached under the mattress and took out several dried dates, walnuts, and peanuts.

Her eyes widened: "Brother is afraid that I will be hungry, so why are you hiding the food here?"

Fortunately, Shen Ningning had just eaten. She turned over the mattress, took out all the dates and peanuts, and then spread the quilt again before lying on it.

It was almost evening before Mo Lingwei came back smelling of alcohol.

He opened the door and swayed a little. The eunuchs carefully supported him, but he just called Shen Ningning's name.

"Your eldest brother and second brother are so good at drinking. They even found ten drunkards to bring me down."

There was some inexplicable grievance in his words.

Mo Lingwei was talking to himself, waving his hand to let the young eunuchs go down, and he closed the door behind his back.

"Fortunately, I had anticipated this and arranged for someone to help me with the drinking. Otherwise, I would have been drunk in the outer hall today and would not have been able to come back to accompany you."

He walked around the screen and saw the sleeping figure on the bed, and his words stopped abruptly.

The beauty on the couch was breathing evenly, her pretty face exuding tranquility. She was sleeping slightly sideways, with a leisurely posture, one little foot still resting on the edge of the bed. She was hugging the pillow on Mo Lingwei's side, sleeping soundly.

Mo Lingwei's heart suddenly softened.

He slowly stepped forward, helped put Shen Ningning's feet back, and covered her with the quilt.

Then he sat by the couch and watched her face quietly.

At this time, the real happiness of marrying Shen Ningning home became fully realized.

He liked the feeling of being able to see her right away when he came back from outside.

When Shen Ningning woke up, it was already midnight.

She rubbed her eyes. The room was illuminated by red candles, and her vision became clear from blur.

Mo Lingwei was reading seriously at the side. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Shen Ningning sitting up, so he turned his head and said with a smile: "Finally woke up?"

Shen Ningning blinked blankly: "Why didn't you call me? When was it?"

"It's almost midnight. I see that you are really tired, so I want you to sleep a little longer." Otherwise, he would not be willing to do anything if she was tired.

Shen Ningning sat up, and Mo Lingwei put down the book and came over to hold her hand: "Are you hungry? Can I ask someone to pass the meal to you?"

Shen Ningning shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I'm just thirsty."

She walked to the table to drink tea and picked up the book that Mo Lingwei had just read. It had an ordinary book cover and didn't even have a name.

Shen Ningning opened it curiously, flipped through two pages, and suddenly became red-faced.

She put the book down suddenly, stood up suddenly, and looked at Mo Lingwei who was smiling but not smiling.

"You, why are you reading such an inappropriate book!"

Mo Lingwei looked calm and innocent when she said it: "How can I learn if you don't want me? What if I hurt you because I have no experience?"

How could he say such a thing so straightforwardly!

There were people moving around outside, as if there were palace maids on duty. Shen Ningning was extremely shy, for fear of being heard by them.

Mo Lingwei chuckled: "Fortunately, it's not difficult, maybe you will also like it."

Shen Ningning stomped her feet in shame and went to cover his mouth.

"You're not allowed to say that!"

Mo Lingwei seemed to be waiting for this moment. He picked up Shen Ningning and walked to the bed.

Shen Ningning panicked: "What are you doing?"

"I haven't forgotten the wedding night. I saw you sleeping so soundly and couldn't bear to wake you up. Now that you're not hungry or tired, let's study the paintings in the book, okay?"

As Mo Lingwei said that, he had already put her down. The moment he kissed her with thin lips, Shen Ningning immediately blocked him.

"What if I say something bad?"

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I can only make you speechless, madam."

He kissed her lips and swallowed Shen Ningning's protest into his throat.

The bed curtain fell, and I don't know when the candles burned to the bottom. There was only a swaying light and shadow in the room. As the bed curtain rose and fell, it was not until dawn that the last ray of light was completely burned out.

Brothers Xie Mingxu and Xie Mingan got drunk yesterday in the presence of someone arranged by Mo Lingwei.

So early this morning, the two brothers came outside the East Palace to pay their respects again.

The eunuch in charge politely invited the two brothers of the crown princess to sit in the main hall.

He also said with an apologetic smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess haven't gotten up yet. Please sit down and wait."

Xie Mingxu glanced at Geng Le next to him. It was just past midnight. His sister must have been too tired after getting married yesterday. It would be okay to sleep a little longer.

"It's okay, father-in-law, you can go and do your own business."

However, the brothers waited for only half an hour.

It was almost noon.

It took the eunuch three rounds of tea to refill them, and the brothers took turns going to the toilet for the fourth time.

Finally, Xie Mingan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and called the eunuch at the door: "Aren't His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess up yet?"

It's already noon, and his sister can't be hungry!

The eunuch held up his hands and smiled apologetically: "We haven't gotten up yet. Please wait a moment, sir."

Xie Mingxu and Xie Ming'an looked at each other and frowned.

Xie Mingan whispered to Xie Mingxu: "Brother, I suspect that His Royal Highness is afraid that the two of us will cause trouble again, so he deliberately hides his sister from her."

Xie Mingxu crossed his arms and thought coldly: "The prince shouldn't be so ridiculous, but let's wait a little longer."

Just like that, at noon, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace passed the meal to the brothers and asked them to eat while waiting.

Half an hour after the meal, Xie Mingxu didn't want to wait any longer. He stood up and said, "Did His Royal Highness really not get up? The two of us have important matters to discuss today."

The eunuch felt embarrassed: "I just went to ask, but I haven't gotten up yet."

At this moment, a young eunuch ran over: "Father-in-law, there is something going on in the house. His Royal Highness is passing water in!"

Xie Mingxu and Xie Ming'an looked at each other. Sure enough, they had just gotten up?

The eunuch in charge said with a smile: "Look, my lords, please wait a moment. After His Royal Highness has bathed and freshened up, my servant will immediately communicate with you two."

So they sat down again and waited.

However, two more sticks of incense passed...

The little eunuch hurried over: "Eunuch, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess seem to have fallen asleep again. The water for bathing in the room was brought out, and there was no movement."

Xie Mingxu:......

Xie Mingan slapped the table: "Can the bodies of His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess bear it after sleeping for so long?"

With that said, he stepped out: "I'll go and persuade you!"

The eunuch in charge was shocked, how dare he break in.

The prince and princess are newly married, why do these two uncles always come to cause trouble!

"Thank you sir, I can't..."

At this moment, someone came to report: "The Prime Minister's wife is here."

Xie Mingxu and Xie Ming'an paused.

Mom also came to see my sister? (End of chapter)
